Divine Threads by Clara Mitchell

I was spiritually sewing today.

I was able to thread a needle

With my divine thread of inspiration.

The eternal thread that keeps my poetry alive.

Eternity is at work like a revelation.

Whatever God gives has this promise.

"The things which are not seen are eternal"

"the things which are seen are temporal." (II Corinthians 4:18)

This eternal thread of inspiration gives life.

Each idea sown is born anew, (John 3:3)

To open hearts and faith,

Into prayer and supplications.

While tying a knot in this new thread,

I ask God about a new poem.

I see that the end is already in process.

The knot tells me that it will all tie together. (Romans 8:28)

Each poem like a quilt of ideas.

Each idea spreading across poetry lines.

I stitch the words within the stanzas of thread.

Until I feel the knot form that signals the end ahead.
